Change location and style of notifications in admin bar

I think the “new” admin bar for BuddyPress 1.6 is cool, but there’s just 1 thing I don’t like: the way notifications are shown. I think that they’re too small and are in a position that can be missed easily.

That’s why I wanted to move the notifications to the left, more or less where them were before the update, and add the word “Notifications”. But I couldn’t find the way to move or add the word.
